The assignment of IP networks to interfaces proceeds as follows:
D The various models have different numbers of physical interfaces, i.e.
Ethernet ports or WLAN modules.
D The logical interface(s) is/are assigned to the physical interface:
D For the Ethernet ports, Ethernet port mapping assigns the physical
ETH-1 to ETH-4 to the logical LAN-1 to LAN-4.
Note: For some but not all models, the number of logical LAN interfaces cor-
responds to the number of physically available Ethernet ports.
D In the case of the WLAN modules, the establishment of point-to-point
connections (P2P) and/or the use of Multi-SSID can mean that multi-
ple WLAN interfaces are assigned to each physical WLAN module:
Per module this may be up to eight WLAN networks and up to six P2P
connections.
D These logical interfaces are further specified and grouped in the next
stage:
